EDITORIAL Health care going to pot Laney Fouse Editor-in-Chief As a reporter, I am always curious why people do the things they do or think the way they think. This week I would like to in troduce a subject that was a heated debate on Sunday night’s Town Hall on KATU, Channel 2.1 want to hear where our readers stand on the legal ization of marijuana. There are many sides to this issue, legal and moral alike. This makes the “right” answers all How do we decide who is right or who is entitled to certain privileges in our society? Where do we draw the line on each other’s “acceptable” behavior? Currently, a petition drive to collect signatures is underway to get the issue on the next ballot. If that happens Oregonians will once again hold a smoking gun in their hands. In order to help a few, who say they benefit from the medical use of marijuana, how many other members in our state will actually be hurt by it? This country has spent mil lions of dollars fighting a drug war. Are we giving up now? Just because our neighbors to the south approved the use of mari juana for medicinal purposes, will we follow suit? I would like to know what you think.
